I find that they work MOST effectively by only wearing them in the same are a few days a week. But if you have multiple areas or develop them, than it's a non-issue. If you're going out of pocket, that's one thing, but otherwise the most appropriate med should be used. Docs often prescribe meds that have bad side effects, so that can run your expense of care up as well. Pennywise and pound foolish...
